Rupert & Tia
Mama Doe
It seems that bunnies seem to get poorly at the same times - what I mean is, this week, bunnies all over the place seem to be getting poorly - Rupert last night, he's been fine since October, but last night, took himself off, I did the 'pellet test' (rattle the tub), and nothing, he just lay under the table - he came over eventually (when Tia did) then flopped on his side in the corner - typical poorly behaviour, he was lunging at me, grunting, I managed to get him to take metacam and metoclopramide, and he was eating a few pellets, his belly wasn't swollen as much as usual. He has been eating pellets, a bit of hay, but he's just not himself.
I know of at least 3 other rabbits this week with identical symptoms - why does it happen to so many at the same times? Surely, it can't be coincidence, can it? They're all in different parts of the country.... Maybe it is coincidence - maybe so many bunnies have these kinds of issues and its just coincidence that it happens to friends at the same time??
Such a worry!
He's going to the vet tonight to get checked over.
